Journalist John McGarry claims that Philippe Clement has the support of the Rangers hierarchy, but given the track record of recent Ibrox managers, he might not have much time.

Last Saturday, the Gers were defeated 1-0 in the Scottish Cup final by Adam Idah, who completed a double by scoring a last-minute Celtic goal.

This compiled the Light Blues’ misery after missing out on the Scottish Premiership by eight points after a poor end to the season.

Despite this, McGarry has suggested in an article for the Daily Mail (28 May) that the Rangers board will keep him in the job – for now.

He said: “Despite it all going rather flat in the end as Celtic won a Premiership and Scottish Cup double, the 50-year-old retains the faith of his paymasters and most supporters.”

It’s going to be a testing summer for Clement to try and navigate with plenty of outgoings and he will hope for some new signings.
